Look for cameras on shops etc in the vicinity and try to narrow down the time it might have passed. Also phone up the rental company and say which part of the van made contact - they'll look out for it on returns.

yeah as digging deeper said as was done by other member couple of months ago and they will check the vans when returned UNLESS it was an employee who is using it

thanks all, especially peterlfc went down to borough road this morning and just as i came out the shop the van pulled up, had a word and he followed me down to the police station, was only a young lad about 18yrs old, said he didnt know he done it...funny that, as my son said when he beeped the horn at him he stopped looked in his mirror and then drove off. WHATEVER!!!

and find it you did, excellent result.

The police will probably accept that he didn't know he hit you, they did in my case despite an independent witness.

Anyway, you have insurance details to sort out your car now which is good and hopefully a sheepish 18 year old who has found out that white van man isn't as anonymous as he thought. I wouldn't like to be paying his insurance next year!
